Following their tragic death in a car crash earlier this year, a debut album from Viola Beach is set for release next month.
The 'Swings And Waterslides' rising indie stars were killed with their manager when the car they were travelling in plunged from a bridge into the river below while driving through Sweden.
Now, their surviving family have detailed that a nine-track album will be released in their honour on 29 July via the band's own label, Fuller Bean Records.
“We are tremendously proud of everything the boys achieved in such a short space of time. Craig, Jack, Kris, River and Tom shared a huge passion, talent and dedication to music," says the band's families in a statement.
"We believe the best way to celebrate our sons’ lives is to release an album of their songs.
"This is their legacy and we know deep in our hearts that the boys would want the world to listen to the music they poured everything into. This was only the beginning for them and these nine songs were written with every intention to be shared, heard and, most of all, enjoyed."
They added: "We hope that it brings you as much happiness listening to it as we know it did to them making it.”
